The Matriarch's Dashing Prime Minister Consort

Song Yiyun, a celebrated figure at S University, is accidentally struck by lightning and knocked off a cliff while climbing at night. When she comes to, from the start she has a mother who died young, a lame father, a brother who can't find a wife, and a broken home.

As the only daughter in the family, she's supposed to shoulder its burdens, face-slap her poor relatives, and sing her way to a comeback. But begging for food can't compare to living off someone else's wealth. Song Yiyun spots her chance, seizes the moment, and without hesitation becomes the live-in bride of a local rich family, happily inheriting their fortune.

But before she can even get used to her newfound fortune, a sudden fire reduces it to ashes. At last, Song Yiyun realizes she's been swept into a deadly conspiracy whose outcome is impossible to predict.

Song Yiyun had planned to live a lazy life, but now she picks up the top-student playbook from her previous life: the Four Books and Five Classics, historical texts and works of literature, the imperial examinations, and a place in the imperial court.

Three thousand characters of policy advice presented on the palace steps, and her name tops the golden list amid the springtime splendor.

A top scholar who passes the highest examination with ease, winning fame throughout the realm in a single stroke.

The top scorer rides a tall horse, with red lips, white teeth, picture-perfect brows and eyes, and a flower tucked into their hair. Smiling and graceful, they rise smoothly through the ranks from then on.

See how she overcomes every obstacle, defeats every rival, rises to the highest offices, and becomes a legend for generations to come.
